Not Rice, Arsenal important player revealed

Former Premier League star, Clinton Morrison has named William Saliba as an important player to Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal as Declan Rice.

Morrison, who acknowledged that Rice has been outstanding for the Gunners, however, said Saliba’s availability will be a decisive factor in their Premier League title race this term.

According to the former Republic of Ireland star, Saliba and Gabriel’s partnership is rock solid but Arsenal could struggle if the French werender suffers an injury setback.

“We spoke about Declan Rice, he has been outstanding. But another player who has been outstanding and they have to keep fit is Saliba,” Morrison said on Soccer Special on Sky Sports.

“Unbelievable. The partnership between him and Gabriel is brilliant.

“That is a protection (from Rice). But if they were to pick an injury to Saliba, then it is a struggle. You are then looking at who could come in.”
